NPR is putting the "ass" in classical

So I wrote the NPR station here in Atlanta finally. I wanted to express my disinterest in the unrelenting, nonstop, "classic" music they play. I did one page of research to support my argument and you gotta check out these links. Funny funny criticism.
I was a member when I lived in Ohio. I happily paid a bit of money each time the drives came around. As your Spring drive approaches here in Atlanta, all I can think about is how terrible the NPR radio programming is down here compared to up there. The main difference is that up there, they actually hadskanklady on to spic "classics". Ugh and her voice! Beyond the fact that spinning classic music all day is a lazy cop out that serves the public little to no good, it's just so annoying to hear her speak. I'm not alone in this:

That's just a few off the first page in Google searching only for "Lois Reitzes".

sure is a far cry from what ya'all wrote here:

Give the public what they want and give us good programming like WBUR in Boston I believe, or like Columbus or Cleveland in Ohio.
If yer feelin froggy, and you live in broadcasting range of this shit-shop they call an NPR station, write them here. And even if you don't, feel free to write in and tell them Lois Reitzes is an anooying bitch. Don't worry, you wouldn't be lying because it's pretty true. She's like this woman:
